Entered  according  to  Act  of  Congress,  in  the  year  1856.  by  Thomas  Towxdrow, 
in  the  Clerk's  Office,  of  the  DM.  Court,  of  the  U.  S..for  Vie  Southern  Dist .,  X  Y. 


A  WORD  TO  THE  PUBLIC. 

IS  the  course  of  our  constant  journeyings  around  New  York  as  a  journalist 
for  several  years  past,  it  has  beeu  our  lot  to  meet  with  numerous  individuals, 
who,  through  the  want  of  correct  information,  had  been  led  to  visit  places , 
remote  from  home  in  opposite  directions  from  their  respective  destinations, 
bearing  the  same  names  ;  and  who,  after  thus  incurring  considerable  expense; 
and  loss  of  time,  had  abandoned  the  idea  of  making  their  long-contemplated 
trips  of  pleasure  amongst  their  country  friends. 

Need  we  say  that  the  occurrence  of  such  vexatious  disappointments  can 
hardly  be  wondered  at,  when  it  is  borne  in  mind  how  few  are  probably  aware: 
of  the  fact  that  within  so  limited  a  circuit  as  thirty  miles,  there  are  no  less 
than  two  places  by  the  name  of  Bloomingdale,  four  Centervilles,  two  Cliftous, 
four  Franklins,  two  Hog  Islands,  two  Horse  Necks,  two  Jacksonvilles,  five 
Middletowns,  etc.,  etc. 

We  have  likewise  had  our  attention  often  directed  to  the  curt  replies  of 
Railroad  Ticket  Agents,  "when  politely  questioned"  relative  to  the  locality 
and  distance  of  places,  other  than  those  situated  immediately  on  the  lines  of 
their  respective  roads  ;  and  believe  that  the  apparent  incivility  of  those 
officials,  in  most  instances,  arises  from  a  lack  of  information  on  their  part,  as 
well  as  from  their  necessary  impatience  to  attend  upon  those  applicants  for  tick-  j 
cts  who  6jo  know  how  to  reach  their  destinations  Avithout  numberless  interrog- 
atories, rather  than  from  any  intended  insult  or  rudeness  to  the  enquirer. 

Occasional  visitors  to  the  rural  districts  are  not,  however,  the  only  persons 
who  need  information  respecting  them,  for  our  observations  have  impressed 
us  with  the  conviction  that  thousands  of  letters,  many  of  them  containing 
money,  have  failed  to  reach  the  persons  to  whom  they  were  addressed,  simply 
because  they  had  been  improperly  directed  ;  and  in  order  to  show  how  easily 
such  instances  may  occur  (through  the  want  of  information  herein  contained), 
let  us  suppose  that  you  have  friends  or  business  acquaintances  residing  at 
Ashford,  City  Island  or  Orienta,  "Westchester  County,  N.  Y.,  whom  you  desire 
to  see  in  the  city  on  matters  of  importance,  and  that  you  accordingly  address 
and  mail  communications  to  them  at  their  respective  places  of  residence, 
pray  what  is  the  natural  result  ?  The  post-office  clerk  on  reading  the  super- 
scription Ashford,  City  Island  or  Orienta,  Westchester  County,  N.  Y.,  and 
being  most  probably  ignorant  of  the  existence  of  such  places,  refers  to  the 
Post-Office  Directory,  and  not  finding  them  there  recognised  by  the  post-office 
department,  there  being  no  offices  established  in  either  locality,  he  at  once 
throws  the  missives  amongst  hundreds  of  others  of  the  same  stamp,  to  be 
forwarded  to  the  dead  letter  office  at  Washington.  By-and-b}-e  you  begin  to 
wonder  why  your  country  friends  do  not  make  their  appearance,  until  finally 
you  accidentally  meet  with  them,  and  then  learn,  with  surprise,  that  your 
communications  had  never  been  received,  winch  fact  calls  forth  from  you1 
anathemas  against  the  post-office  officials  in  general. 

With  these  facts,  and  others  equally  worthy  of  consideration  before  us. 
we  have  been  led  to  undertake  the  compilation  of  a  Manual  of  convenient 
form  for  the  pocket,  and  calculated  to  impart,  in  the  most  concise  and  com- 
prehensive manner,  all  the  information  that  is  likely  to  be  desired  by  any  one 
having  occasion  to  travel  either  by  railroad,  stage  or  steamboat  ;  send  a  let  to- 
by mail,  a  message  by  telegraph,  or  a  package  by  express,  to  anv  point  within 
thirty  geographical  miles  of  the  Great  Metropolis.  T.  TOWNPEOW.  j

30  NEW  YORK  CITY,  AND  THIRTY  MILES  AROUND, 

BATTERY  (The).  A  public  park  of  crescent-like  form,  at  the  southern  ex- 
tremity of  this  city.  It  is  said  to  have  derived  its  name  from  the  fact  of 
having  been  the  site  of  the  battery  of  Old  Fort  George  ;  it  had  been  pre- 
viously fortified,  however,  by  the  Dutch.  A  large  number  of  noble  trees 
having  grown  up.  affording  a  grateful  shade,  in  connection  with  the  ad- 
vantages the  location  possessed  for  the  enjoyment  of  sea  breezes,  induced 
the  citj-  authorities  some  years  ago  to  construct  a  substantial  sea  wall 
round  the  front,  lay  out  gravelled  walks,  enclose  the  grounds  and  other- 
wise beautify  the  place.  It  was  long  considered  the  most  delightful  spot  for 
a  promenade  in  the  world  ;  but  in  consequence  of  the  work  of  enlarge- 
ment having  marred  its  beauty  for  the  present,  on  one  hand,  and  the 
appropriation  of  Castle  Garden  for  the  landing  of  emigrants  on  the  other- 
very  few  fashionable  promenaders  now  resort  to  the  Battery.

small  oval  enclosure  at  the  lower  or  south  end  of  Broadway,  is  said  to 
have  derived  its  name  from  the  fact  that  the  open  space  or  square  in  that 
locality  was  formerly  a  fine  Green,  used  as  a  bowling  alley  by  the  officers  of 
the  garrison  then  stationed  at  Fort  George.  The  iron  railing  was  erected 
prior  to  the  Revolution,  as  an  ornament  and  protection  to  an  equestrian 
statue  of  George  III.,  which  in  1776  was  pulled  down  by  the  patriots,  and 
converted  into  musket  balls.  The  place  of  the  statue  is  now  supplied  by 
a  handsome  white  marble  fountain,  at  the  expense  of  owners  of  the  sur- 
rounding property.

BROOKLYN  CITY,  Kings  Co.,  N.  Y.  (justly  styled  the  "  City  of  Churches"). 
The  city  of  Brooklyn,  which  in  1810  numbered  only  4,402  inhabitants, 
can  now  boast  of  its  100,000,  and  therefore  may  be  said  to  rank  as  the 
second  city  in  the  State  ;  and  should  her  future  increase  correspond  with 
the  past  few  years,  she  may  soon  be  classed  as  the  fourth  or  fifth  city  in 
in  the  Union.  Our  object,  however,  not  being  to  give  descriptions  of 
every  place  within  our  prescribed  circuit,  especially  those  so  well  known 
as  our  sister  city — forming,  as  it  were,  a  portion  of  the  commercial 
emporium — but  rather  the  various,  as  well  as  the  best  modes  of  reaching 
them  ;  let  it  suffice  to  say  that  there  are  no  less  than  seven  ferries  between 
New  York  and  Brooklyn  proper — and  three  between  New  York  and  the 
Eastern  Division  of  Brooklyn,  or  what  is  more  familiarly  known  as 
Williamsburg  :  for  a  list  of  which  ferries  see  p.  21  ;  while  all  the  princi- 
pal public  buildings,  institutions,  etc.,  etc.,  will  be  found  duly  noticed 
under  their  respective  titles,  alphabetically,  as  "  Atlantic  Dock,"  l:  Brook- 
lyn Athenaeum,"  "  Brooklyn  Ctty  Hall,"  etc.

OUR  COVER. 

■»  It  seems  almost  needless  for  us  to  say  a  single  word  of  praise  respecting 
our  handsome  cover  Title  page  :  for  the  appropriateness  of  the  design,  andj 
the  superior  manner  in  which  the  engraving  has  been  executed  speak  fori 
themselves.  It  therefore  simply  devolves  upon  us  us  to  "  render  unto  Caesar  j 
the  things  that  are  Caesar's,  "  or  in  other  words  to  state  that  the  credit  of  the] 
design,  (in  which  the  Railroad  passenger  train.  Steamboat,  Stage.  Freight  Ex- 
press, and  Telegraph  are  admirably  introduced.)  belongs  to  Mr.  Wilson,  artist, 
of  75  Nassau  St.,  while  we  most  cheerfully  acknowledge  our  indebtness  to 
that  prince  of  engravers  Mr.  S.  J.  Pinckney.  of  No.  69  Nassau  St.  for  the 
beautiful  finishing  touch  which  he  has  given*  the  work.

more  deserving  attention  than  Pelham  Priory,  long  known  as  a  popular] 
seminary  for  young  ladies.  The  house,  Which  is  of  stone,  embowered: 
with  ivy  and  other  creepers,  affords  a  fine  specimen  of  the  old  English1 
style,  and  accords  well  with  its  truly  romantic  situation.  The  building' 
stands  upon  an  eminence,  surrounded  by  noble  trees,  and  has  two  towers 
commanding  splendid  views,  in  -which  wood  and  water  are  beautifully 
blended.  The  interior  arrangements,  wainscoated  apartments,  etc.,  cor- 
respond with  the  style  of  the  house,- and  carry  the  mind  back  to  days  of, 
old.  It  is  well  stored  with  curiosities  in  art,  literature  and  nature,  in-! 
eluding  some  family  pictures  by  Etty,  of  the  Royal  Academy  of  England;

first  printer  in  America  ;  an  original  of  Addison's  Spectator  ;  a  letter  oi 
Pope's  to  Lord  Bethurst  ;  a  good  collection  of  autographs,  the  oldest  of 
which  is  that  of  Henry  VII.  of  England.  The  signatures  of  Elizabeth,! 
with  her  Council,  and  of  her  successor,  Queen  Mary,  are  particularly 
worthy  of  notice  ;  also  those  of  Oliver  Cromwell  and  Richard  Cromwell. 
There  is  likewise  a  valuable  cabinet  of  coins,  collected  by  the  Rev.  Bryan 
Hill,  rector  of  Hodnet,  Shropshire,  England.  Amongst  these,  the  most1 
interesting  are  those  of  Alexander  the  Great,  Cassar  Augustus,  and  various 
others.  Roman  and  ancient  English.  Amongst  the  medals  of  the  Popes,

SLEEPY  HOLLOW,  town  of  Mount  Pleasant,  Westchester  Co.,  N.  Y., 
rendered  familiar  by  the  graphic  pen  of  Washington  Irving,  in  his 
Sketch-Book. 

To  reach  the  dreamy  region  of  Sleepy  Hollow,  and  the  redoubted  hill 
where  once  stood  the  school-house  in  which  the  celebrated  Ichabod  Cranei 
tarried  for  the  purpose  of  instructing  the  youth  of  the  vicinity,  proceed 
by  Hudson  River  Railroad,  or  steamboat,  to  Tarrytown  (p.  93) ;  thence  by 
''extra,''  1}  miles.  Fare  through,  by  railroad  route,  87}  cents  ;  steam- 
boat route,  62}  cents. 

The  author  of  the  Sketch-Book  observes  that  "the  whole  of  the 
neighborhood  abounds  with  local  tales,  haunted  spots  and  twilight  super- 
stitions." The  dominant  spirit,  however,  that  haunts  this  enchanted 
region,  and  seems  to  be  commander-in-chief  of  all  the  powers  of  the  air, 
is  the  apparition  of  a  figure  on  horseback,  without  a  head.  It  is  said  by 
some  to  be  the  ghost  of  a  Hessian  trooper,  wrhose  head  had  been  carried 
away  by  a  cannon  ball  in  some  nameless  battle  during  the  Revolutionary 
war,  and  who  is  ever  and  anon  seen  by  the  country  folks  hurrying  along 
in  the  gloom  of  night,  as  if  on  the  wings  of  the  wind. 

It  is  also  alleged  the  body  of  the  trooper,  having  been  buried  in  the 
church-yard,  the  ghost  rides  forth  to  the  scene  of  battle  in  nightly  quest 
of  his  head,  and  that  the  rushing  speed  with  wrhich  he  passes  along  the 
hollow,  like  the  midnight  blast,  is  owing  to  his  being  belated  and  in  a 
hurry  to  get  back  to  the  church-yard  before  day -break. 

Such  is  the  general  purport  of  this  legendary  superstition.  The  spectre 
is  known  by  the  name  of  the  u  Headless  Horseman  of  Sleepy  Hollow. "

TOM  PAINE  MONUMENT.  Shortly  after  the  death  of  the  celebrated 
Thomas  Paine  (author  of  "  Common  Sense  "  and  "  Age  of  Reason  "),  in1 
Xew  York,  in  1809,  his  remains  were  removed  to  Xew  Rochelle,  and  in- 
terred near  the  entrance  to  the  farm  presented  him  by  the  State  of  Xew 
York,  for  services  alleged  to  have  been  rendered  by  him  during  the  Revo- 
lutionary struggle.  Subsequently  his  friends  erected  a  handsome  monu-, 
ment  to  mark  the  site  of  his  grave.  On  the  side  facing  the  road  is  a  me- 
dallion likeness,  and  beneath  it  is  inscribed — 

THOMAS  PAIXE, 
A uthor  of

If  there  is  any  one  thing  that  annoys  a  traveler  on  a  railroad,  more  than 
another,  it  is  a  bad  -pring.  To  br!  pitched  and  tossed  about  without  mercy, 
wiihout  feeling,  is  a  condition  that  is  certaioly  anything  but  enviable. 

Of  the  kinds  that  we  have  seen,  there  are  but  two  that  deserve  much 
attention  ;  and  of  these  two.  but  one.  we  think,  will  ever  be  found  to 
answer  the  desired  purpose.  To  be  sure  there  are  many  that  are  appa- 
rently well  adapted  to  the  purpose — but  when  the  test  comes,  the  failure 
comes  also.  Much  has  been  said  with  regard  to  a  spring  made  in  Eng- 
land, kn^wn  as  Bailie's  Spring  ;  but.  although  a  very  good  one.  it  will 
answer  for  one  purpose  only — that  is.  carrying  locomotives  ;  the  weight 
never  varying  more  than  two  or  three  hundred  pounds,  of  course  any 
spring  that  can  stand  the  pressure  of  the  locomotive,  without  setting 
will  auswer  ;  but  for  passenger  or  freight  cars,  where  the  weight  is  varied 
continually,  they  have  not  been  found  to  answer  the  purpose.  They  are 
too  rigid  when  of  sufficient  power  ;  besides,  there  is  too  much  friction.  It 
bas  been  argued  that  friction  improves  a  spring.  This  we  have  never 
been  able  to  believe.  The  Gardiner's  Conical  Yolute  Spring  is  the  only 
one  wbich.  to  our  fancy,  overcomes  the  difficulties  and  objections  that 
have  beeu  urged  to  those  now  in  use  and  ttie  Bailie  Spring.  Its  construc- 
tion is  certainly  the  most  simple,  its  appearance  the  most  unique  of  any 
made  :  it  is  light,  cheap,  to  all  appearances  the  most  durable,  and  withal 
most  powerful  of  any  we  have  seen.  The  motion,  when  under  the  car.  is 
soft  and  delicate  :  there  is  no  rude  jar.  no  unequal,  sudden  motion  ;  but 
it  rides  as  a  spring  should  ride;  and  this  spring  has  no  friction.  Mr. 
Gfardiner  in  this  has  certainly,  by  the  most  simple  msans.  accomplished  a 
<reat  object — outdistanced  ail  competitors.  Many  have  striven  to  attain 
this  point,  but  failed.  r

Spruce  street.  New  York.  Price  25  cents. 
Railroad  Guides  as  a  general  thing,  are  apt  to  he  little  more  than  enig- 
matical puzzles,  devised  to  exercise  the  guessing  faculties  of  travelers,  and 
incomprehensibility  appears  to  be  their  principal  characteristic.  But  at 
last  we  have  the  satisfaction  to  announce  the  appearance  of  a  Guide-Book 
| worthy  of  a  rational  people,  and  as  far  superior  to  the  usual  slovenly 
ill-arranged  and  cabalistic  volumes  which  mislead,  bewil  d^r  and  perplex 
irather  than  guide  the  wayfarer,  as  mathematical  certainty  is  to  Pythian 
oracle  For  this  boon  we  are  indebted  to  the  house  of  Dinsmore  &  Co..  of 
I this  city — the  same  firm  which  has  so  long  and  so  faithfully,  as  publishers 
jof  the  original  pioneer  Railway  Guide,  served  the  public.  The  editor  is 
jDr.  R.  S  Fisher,  a  gentleman  well  known  as  a  statistical  writer,  and.  per- 
haps, the  b^st  informed  man  in  the  Union  in  all  that  relates  to  railroad 
matters.  The  great  desideratum  in  a  Railroad  Guide  is  a  method  of  ready 
reference  to  it*  contents.  Tn  this  matter  Gui^e-Books  have  hitherto  been 
Isignally  deficient  ;  but  judging  from  the  elaborate  indexes  prefacing  th< 
'present  volume  there  is  no  room  here  for  complaint.  With  such  a  Guide 
Punch's  "  Unprotected  Female"  could  hardly  tail  of  finding  her  way  about 
jthe  country  :  and  the  most  foreign  of  foreigners  if  .he  can  but  decipher  j 
i  English  and  figures  will  never  fall  into  the  error  of  the  good  lady  cele-| 
brated  by  Tom  Hood,  who  traveled  backward  and  forward  o?  the  line  from 
jBrussels  to  Mnchlin.  bv  diligently  changing  back  to  her  old  train,  until 
[the  re-appearance  of  MechlinV  towers  for  the  sixth  time  forced  on  h^r  the 
all-too-true  impression  that  her  journey  had  been  like  the  panther's  walk 
in  his  den— there  and  back  again. — [Life  Illu-trated.

Conical   Volute  Car  Spring! 

THE  NEW  YORK  METALLIC  CAR  SPRING  COMPANY 

ARE    NOW    PREPARED    TO    NEGOTIATE  WITH 

RAILROAD    COMPANIES,   CAR  BUILDERS 

And  others,  for  supplying  the  above  Spring. 


The  railroad  community  have  long  felt  th 
necessity  of  a  good  and  reliable  Car  Spring,  on 
wi»h  less  objectionable  features  than  either  the 
Rubber  or  Kliptic  Springs  for  with  these  ex- 
ceptions there  are  none  that  are  in  any  way 
rqual  to  the  immense  work  they  have  to  per- 
form. 

In  view  of  obviating  this  evil,  the  above 
Company  have  teen  for  neaily  a  year  past  en- 
gaged in  testing  Gardi.nvr's  Compoi  no  Vim  vti 
Oar  Spring. erecting  buildings  and  constructing 
machinery.  pr<  paratory  to  manufacturing  them 
on  an  extensive  scale;  and  they  are  new  pre- 
pared to  fay  that  1h<y  can  offer  lothe  railroad 
interest  a  Car  Spring  that  is  in  every  respect 
superior  to  any  in  use.  It  is  not  liable  to  breakage — is  of  very  simple  con- 
struction. The  motion  is  much  greater,  more  steady  and  elastic  than  the 
Rubber  Spring.  It  occupies  the  fame  or  less  space,  is  not  a  t xpensive, 
ana  is  so  graded  as  to  accomm<  date  itself  to  any  load.  There  is  no  fric- 
tion, which  object  is  now  for  the  first  time  accomplished.
